Dr Kenzo Kase was the first to propose the notion of utilising elastic tape to resemble the therapist’s hands in the 1970s. Since then, it has become the modality utilized for treating oedema, soft tissue injuries, tissues that are out of alignment, and pain management. The Kinesio Taping Method uses four different kinds of Kinesio Tex Tapes, each of which has unique qualities made for use on skin that is delicate, sensitive, or applied with more strain. Two special tapes, Kinesio Equine and Kinesio Canine, are utilised in the Kinesio Taping Method, which has also been proven helpful in treating animals.
The neurophysiological mechanisms and the impact of mechanical stimuli on diverse bodily systems are the foundation of Kinesio’s taping theory.
